Want that knee down and that wheel up?!

Then this is your best bet!

I do know very well how hard it is to get that knee finally down, and I know that it gives you hopes and dreams. Same goes for doing wheelies as that fear factor can give you nightmares.

Fun, educational and legal

Yes,… and all at ones, because it’s almost hard to find a more motivated and passionate team that also brings the right equipment to the place where you can learn to drag that knee and to wheelie in a legal and safe as possible arena.

Mini bikes and a stationary wheelie machine are included as well as track fees, snacks and drinks, and free sport photography. And yea… bad ass coaching as well!

Let’s get the shit done…

…and join the Body Positioning class on 9/19/ and/or the Wheelie Course on 9/20/. There is also a bundle discount available. Though, no more wheelie rentals for that day.

Just read this from the previous class below

Outstanding track day with Superbike-Coach

June 6, 2024/0 Comments/in About Superbike-Coach/by Can Akkaya

We had an outstanding track day at Thunderhill Raceway on Sunday 6/2/2024.

The track rookie class, which was a group in itself was booked up while C and B group were about 90% loaded with riders. Coach Can Akkaya gave strict directions in regard safety, and all participants were sticking up to it. The control riders kept an close eye on rule violations and were on top of everything. Besides a purposely shown red flag, there was not a single incident to complain about. The track rookie class was the first of its kind and so we struggling a little with it, but we’re learning from it and we’ll make adjustments for the future.

Our photographers Sean Dunley and Dean Lonskey featured some pictures.

My Cleopatra is back up running. She’s got a new dress as well and so she’ll be ready to rock n roll at our track day at Thunderhill on 6/2/, where there are still some spots available. I’m making progress too, but it’ll be physical and I don’t know what my shoulder and wrist does when G’s kicking in. Doesn’t she look great?

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly highly recommend. 5 stars isn’t a high enough rating. Best decision I ever made. I was looking for a place that offered one on one classes cause I didn’t feel ready for a group class. The coach was super knowledgeable and very patient. He really took his time going over everything in detail and making you feel safe and comfortable. Gave me the confidence I needed to go into a group class. Had me riding in less then an hour.  I highly recommend I will be signing up for more classes.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. EDITED REVIEW: 7/17/26 After my first 1:1 with head coach Can Akkaya, I was motivated to take the cornering class day 1… what I got from that day has been life changing. I’ve signed up for the suspension workshop and cornering day 2, as someone who had basically given up on riding a motorcycle all together! These guys are LEGIT! As an absolute beginner, I got more than I ever expected and advanced riders in the class had the same experience. I cannot recommend this program enough for anyone and everyone at all levels to develop skills and knowledge Plus it was so fun, funny, and we came away feeling like we are a part of a family! 5 ++++ stars Original review: I would like to say thank you for helping me get over my fear of riding during our one on one class. As a coach / trainer myself, I appreciated your knowledgeable, no-nonsense and practical approach as well as subtle cues to guide me to safely and effectively operate a motorcycle. I got some of my confidence back and am looking forward to the cornering classes now and possibly a track day or two!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience on day 1 of cornering school. Hearing coach Can's experience and credentials put insane faith into what he was saying and teaching me. After taking just a days worth of teaching into my daily riding I felt more stable and mentally finding a better line in my canyon runs and city streets. You have to understand though this isnt just a class to learn how be a faster rider. Its about how to be fast AND SAFE. We all love motorcycles and we want to keep doing it so practicing what coach teaches you is so so important. im already signed up for day 2 and 3 and im excited to go back. understand you may drop your bike so make sure its protected and so are you. wear your gear, ride smart, and be prepared.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing time learning from Superbike-Coach and his team. It was challenging at times because you realized how much you’ve been doing wrong as a rider, but Coach is reallyvtryingvtobsetvyou up to win. Even with a full class, the team pays attention to what you need to work on to be the best rider you can be. As a woman who rides, I felt seen and honestly, his daughter Jill is an amazing rider to learn from. I’m taking all 3 classes and will continue to grow my skills through his courses. 10/10 recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. OK. Turning Class Day 1 was fantastic - I hate using that word but that’s THE best way to describe it. I am not exaggerating. We took the class as a family. My wife, a TOTALLY frightened noob with who worked with Can the weekend before and felt she wanted to go for it because he was such a good teacher (I guess unlike her husband, LOL). For me, 40+ years of riding and being a “good rider” and finding REALLY being a good rider are two different things. Can Akkaya (the instructor/ coach) watched me ride at Little 99 in Sacramento and after the first round was able to offer training and suggestions that instantly made my riding smoother and more efficient. I really enjoyed class in between track session as he and his team covered some pretty serious, potentially life saving, techniques and skills that the students were immediately able to apply and practice in real time on the track. He made it fun, we laughed, frequently at ourselves, but he impressed upon all the students the significance of how and why the riding techniques are used. This is not the State motorcycle safety course my wife just went through - which I feel is NOT worth it as I lost my mind watching her take it. But that’s is just MY opinion. Yet, this is what you NEED if you want to be a successful rider. What ever rider type you choose to be. Can knows his stuff. Seriously. Of that there is no doubt. He doesn’t mince words. He lets you know honestly, and with a true sense of caring and frequently with a bit of humor mixed in, what you need to do to be successful as a rider. I have a goal. I want to do track days and ultimately to race and be competitive at whatever level I am at that moment. I want to get better at every chance I am able. He is providing those tools. If you want to get better, this is THE guy. Seriously you should do it, it may save your life. My wife enjoyed the experience so much she signed us up for more classes so I guess we’ll see you at Turning Classes 2 and 3 or at the Suspension Class.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Original post from 8/2025 and updated 9/9/2025, then 7/15/2026 at the end: What an experience! My son and I have been riding for a bit over a year commuting every day. I have done a track day with some instruction at Thunderhill West with a reputable provider. I’ve watched maybe a hundred hours of motorcycle YouTube (the good stuff, not the influencers) and read Keith Code and Lee Park’s books. That may sound reasonable and all, but we learned more about how to ride a motorcycle in the first two hours of class than all of the above put together. Literally, not figuratively. This class and Coach are what I was searching for. Dozens upon dozens of laps on a tight technical track with multiple coaches circulating amongst the riders, following you as an individual rider through multiple corners, then leading you through entire laps. Not just one offs, but ALL DAY. The coach to participant ratio is bananas. Coaches that learn your name, care about you, and give you actionable feedback. They create an intimate environment that encourages organic community building, sets the tone for no ego/no posturing, simultaneously hilarious and deadly serious about the subject matter. Passionate about instruction? An understatement. A few times in my life I have been lucky to know people that are elite at doing and elite at teaching. Elite at anything is an achievement but at both? That’s Coach. 9/9/2025 update: I have now taken five classes with Coach and can't recommend him and his team highly enough. If you are on the fence, get off and sign up now. The support you'll get from Coach, his team and your classmates will put you at ease, and if you fully engage and put your trust in them, you quickly won't recognize yourself as a rider. After completing Cornering School Days 1, 2 and 3, along with the Suspension Workshop, my son and were chatting with each other saying "can you imagine riding a motorcycle and NOT having taken these classes?" I know it makes me sound like a crazy person, but it feels literally criminally unsafe to imagine folks out there riding without the skills you'll learn from Coach. True no matter what kind of motorcycle you ride, but especially true if you ride any kind of performance motorcycle. It's like being unplugged from the Matrix. Eye opening does not begin to describe the experience. I thought in taking these classes, I would learn how to be more confident through corners on the street and track, and while that's exactly what I have gotten, I wasn't prepared for how cool (and radical) the skills are that add up to that kind of confidence. Everything I had hoped I would get out of the classes, I did, and yet they have helped me realize just how tall the mountain is, how far below base camp I truly am, and yet have shown me the path to climb to my max potential. I mentioned I took five classes, but only listed four different classes above, and that's not a typo. The fifth class I took is a repeat of Cornering School Day 1. In fact I plan to repeat all three days of Cornering School, and likely _more than once_. I met classmates who have been through all three days multiple times. Why would anyone do that? In short: these classes are THAT packed with information and experiential learning. It's not just the reps on track, these classes are that effective. The physical and psychological environment are that effective. Feeling your knowledge, skill set, confidence and as a result your pace on the track increase is that effective. Coach and his team are insanely motivating and they truly and deeply care about what they are doing and about their students. The man wears his heart on his sleeve, and pours his entire heart and soul into what he is doing. So again, stop what you are doing and sign up for Cornering School Day 1 now. You quite literally won't recognize yourself on a motorcycle after. 7/15/2026 update: Repeated classes (cornering, knee down, etc) so many times I’ve lost count. Completed rookie track day, and a 1 on 1 with Coach and Jill at Little 99. Lifetime of learning possible with Coach!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Another great day on track! This is my second time taking the Day 1 cornering class with Coach Can and his team.  I gained new skills and more confidence.  I am looking forward to continuing the cornering series and improving my skills.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took their Cornering Day 1 as a new rider with about 2 months of experience. I had an inflated ego, so I pushed too hard before even learning about the lines and cornering strategies, and I ended up lowsiding on my first session. It was embarrassing, but the team handled the crash aftermath perfectly for me by fixing the dangling headlight and a bent shifter lever on my bike. I was able to continue with the rest of the day thanks to them. Thank you Mark! I learned not only about cornering, but also how fast the coach really is, gear selection, emergency braking, and mentally recovering after a crash. Just like what other people said, it was a very humbling experience. Will be coming back for Day 1 repeat and Day 2. Highly recommended.

Outstanding track day with Superbike-Coach
